Late at night. Northwest of Cangling City. Tianling Pavilion.

Tianling Pavilion is a common office and cultivation place for the twelve generals of Cangling in the past dynasties. Whenever the Twelve Spirits don't have any tasks, they will cultivate here. In addition, regular meetings and emergency meetings between the twelve spirit generals were also held here.

It is a tower-like building, with a round lower floor and a pointed upper floor, which from the outside looks like a huge black cone. Around it, there were two full companies of guards composed entirely of low-level spirit masters. It is the fourth secret place of the whole Cangling Kingdom after the Archon's Office, the National Legislative Council, and the National Military Commission, and no one is allowed to enter except for the Twelve Spirit Generals and their personal disciples, government officials at the national level, and senior generals above the rank of major general. Even those who are eligible to enter it must be allowed to do so. Trespassing is punishable by death or death.

It has a total of fifteen floors, each with a smaller area and a sharper shape. The first floor is the council hall, the second floor is the office, and the third to fourteenth floors are the cultivation rooms, which belong to each spirit general. As for the fifteenth floor, it is absolutely confidential. No one could enter except the Archon of the State, the Commander-in-Chief of the Army, and the Commander of the Twelve Spirit Generals, and no one could know what was inside. There is only one row of windows on each floor, and the other three are all walls. The entire building is made of black strips of stone mixed with cement, some of which are reinforced with steel. The exterior walls of each floor are covered with traps, and between the cracks of the walls are countless dense emitters that can be used to fire bows, crossbows, and gunpowder shells. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a fortress. In the whole building, there is only one pattern, and that is the pattern of the mother nucleus.

At this moment, there are still lights on in the windows of two floors. The door in front of the building was locked, and only two guards were still standing in front of it. These two guards are the same spirit masters, but they are not strong.

"Wow!wow!"

"Wow!wow!"

The sound of a galloping horse suddenly came from afar. Since it was already late at night, both ordinary people and high-ranking officials and wealthy people had already slept. There was hardly a single figure on the road, and there was not a single sound.

Several horses galloped quickly down the road, kicking up puffs of dust. The streets of Cangling City are divided into two parts, with stone and brick roads on both sides for pedestrians, and dirt roads in the middle for various mounts and vehicles (horse-drawn carts, ox carts, etc.).

Sitting on horseback were several men in dark blue uniforms. It's just that because it's too dark, people who don't have a high level of cultivation can't tell what color they're wearing. They all had a small lamp hanging from their horses, and each of them had a sword at his waist. Their speed was very fast, and it only took a few minutes to reach the door of the front yard of the Heavenly Spirit Pavilion.

The man in the middle got off his horse and walked briskly to the gate of the front yard of the Heavenly Spirit Pavilion. He wears a leather hat on his head, and wears a uniform with two more silver threads than the others. There was no doubt that he should be the leader of these people.

"Stop!" the two guards held out their hands at the same time, blocking his path. Although the door was locked, they reacted instinctively.

The man in the fur hat reached into the leather pouch around his waist and pulled out a silver token.

"Our chief has something important and wants to ask General Tang to discuss. ”

The light in the windows on the third floor of the Heavenly Spirit Pavilion suddenly became a little brighter. The dim yellow light suddenly turned orange-red, a color similar to firelight. Compared to it, the light from the windows of the fourth floor, which was also bright, was much weaker.

"Squeak-" The window slowly opened. A crimson figure flew out of the window, illuminating the night sky like a flaming meteor. It only took a few breaths for him to be in front of this group of uniformed people.

"General Don. The man in the fur hat immediately saluted. The people behind also got off their horses and saluted. The two guards guarding the door also saluted immediately.

In front of them, there was a person who was all red. He had fiery red hair, combed into a flame-like shape, straight into the sky. His entire face was obscured by a dark red mask, revealing only two large red eyes, like two red agate. He was tall, but not burly, wearing a golden-red armor with a red silk robe on the outside, a thin layer of gloves on his hands, and almost no skin on his body was exposed. No one could recognize his appearance and age, only that he was a man.

"Let's go. "His voice was low and unnatural. Anyone with a little ear will be able to hear that it is not his own original voice.

I saw a flash of red light, and his figure had disappeared thousands of meters away. The uniformed men immediately mounted their horses and followed.

The two guards immediately returned to their positions, said nothing, and continued to stand their guard as if nothing had happened.

At this moment, the thirteenth floor of the Heavenly Spirit Pavilion suddenly lit up. Not a dim yellow oil light, but a mixture of colors. After a few breaths of fusion, it turns brown. It is a dark brown color that is different from maroon.

The room is not big. Although it is not large, it is almost 100 square meters. The furnishings in the room are very simple, just a large cultivation platform in the middle, plus a few cabinets on the wall. The training platform is perfectly circular, with a diameter of more than ten meters, and is all made of granite. There are all kinds of cultivation utensils in the cabinet. The twelve cultivation rooms are all like this, and even if they are different, they are all the same.

On the cultivation platform on the thirteenth floor, there was a person sitting.

The man's upper body is very tall, and when sitting cross-legged, he is a little taller than the average adult man. In appearance, he was about fifty years old, with a few wrinkles around the edges of his face, but his skin was as radiant and elastic as that of a young man in his early twenties. His facial features are not handsome, but he is very upright, wearing a brown dress, the neckline of the blouse is wide open, slightly revealing bronzed skin and strong chest muscles, and he looks like he has a rugged beauty. A long dark brown hair swayed from side to side with the fluctuations of his spiritual power.

He closed his eyes and made a circular motion with his hands in front of his chest. If there were other spirit masters by his side, he would definitely be shocked to find that the vast tan spiritual power around him was like a huge ** bucket, which was pure destructive energy. As long as he changed the trajectory of his spiritual power slightly, or released a little spiritual power outward, it would be enough to raze the entire cultivation room to the ground, and it might even blow up the entire Heavenly Spirit Pavilion. As long as a person with a cultivation level lower than him gets a little close to him, he will be torn to the ground by the spiritual power that is sharper than the sharpest sword on the Cangling Continent, and he may even die directly.

He suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were ochre-colored, and there was both the depth of a middle-aged man and the sharpness of a young man.

"Don Jr. is gone? Huh...... I guess it's because of the sky and the snow and ice......"

A week later.

The cafeteria was full of people. All the students lined up in front of their respective windows in an orderly manner, and no one cut in line or crowded.

Ye Hengyuan waited in line for a long time before he finished buying a meal. He carried the plate and looked around for an empty seat.

"Brother Hengyuan!" Xue Mengyi suddenly appeared behind him again, stood on tiptoe, and gently patted him on the shoulder.

"Huh?" Ye Hengyuan was taken aback again, and hurriedly turned around, "Xiaomeng, don't you keep calling me like this, okay?"

"Hee-hee," Xue Mengyi smiled mischievously, "I've already taken my place." Let's go. ”

"Have you taken a good position??" Ye Hengyuan shook his head around, but he couldn't see the empty seat. In his field of vision, any table was occupied.

"Over there," Xue Mengyi pointed forward, "Let's go." ”

Xue Mengyi naturally took Ye Hengyuan's hand and walked forward with a jump, passing through the crowd of people coming and going. The two of them quickly walked over to a large, clean table.

There were already four people sitting at the table, namely Leng Han, Wang He and two other girls. Each of them had a plate of food in front of them, but the portion on Wang He's plate was obviously much larger. In the middle of Leng Han and the two girls, there are two more seats that are empty.

"Hi, Brother Ye. Leng Han raised his hand and greeted Ye Hengyuan.

"Brother Leng?" Ye Hengyuan was a little surprised, "When did you come?"

"Did you say enrollment?" Leng Han stretched out his hand and brushed his hair, "It's these two days." I've just started formal classes. I don't have many classes today, so I'll take a seat for you early. ”

"Hengyuan, Xiaomeng, sit down," Wang He stretched out his hand and pointed to the two empty seats beside him, "This is a place specially reserved for you." ”

Ye Hengyuan immediately found the empty seat next to Leng Han, put down the tray in his hand, and sat down. Xue Mengyi sat in the position next to him, next to him and the two girls next to him.

The two girls opposite looked at Ye Hengyuan curiously at the same time. Both of them looked almost identical, with long beige shawl hair, round faces, and light brown eyes. The only difference is that the girl on the left has a small red mole above her left eyebrow, while the girl on the right does not. The attribute mark on their uniforms was strange, a mixed color mark he had never seen before, divided into two layers, the outer layer was the same beige as their hair color, and the center was the same light brown as their eyes
